11. Given: u = 35 m s-1 , a = 5.0 m s-2 , h = 20 x103 m
a) The velocity of the rocket at h,
From equation :
b) The maximum height achieved of the rocket before it falls down back to the
ground,
In a free fall motion :
If s = h' than v = 0; a = - 9.81 m s-2
u (free fall) = v (linear motion) = 448.6 m s-1
From equation :
c) The time of flight of the rocket :
Assume that : t1 = the time taken from ground to h
(associated with linear motion).
From equation :
Assume that: t2 = the time taken from h to h' and then back to the ground
(associated with linear motion).
From equation :
Hence, the time of flight of the rocket, T:
